can you describe what's happened? what grayson's development has been like? >> it's like a little miracle every time he hears something to me. but he's starting to develop speech. >> reporter: the clamps became grayson's foster parents when he was 7 weeks old. about a year later, they learned he was completely deaf. shortly after getting the news the clamps were given the option to adopt grayson. when you found out that he was profoundly deaf did you have any misgivings about going ahead with the adoption? >> no. we talked about what kind of parent does a deaf child need. do they need to be with deaf parents? do they need to be with hearing parents? what's the best situation for him? and it seemed like it was to stay with us. >> reporter: sounds like grayson just worked his way into your heart. >> yeah. he did. >> reporter: oh! grayson's teachers say he spontaneously says a few words like up, go and bye-bye. >> bye-bye. >> reporter: he also just

"boston strong." >> it's kind of corny, but it also kind of meant something, particularly in the days and weeks that followed the bombings because the city and the whole region came together in an unpress debtcedented way. >> reporter: but boston isn't the only town where sports has helped lift up a city broken down by tragedy. in 2001 less than two months after the world trade center attacks, the new york yankees fought their way back to the world series but lost in the dramatic game seven to the arizona diamondbacks. >> the diamondbacks! >> reporter: and in 2006 one year after hurricane katrina --

8:34 am
a german magazine reported that on a mission to minister to the poor in india he had thrown first class. for a catholic church now run by a pope who has rejected the traditional trappings of opulence, he famously lives in a small sparse apartment instead of the luxurious papal residence, the bishop of bling had to go, so now he's gone suspended while the costs of his new digs are investigated. catholic writer father thomas thomas reese. >> pope francis has been very clear that he wants bishops who are close to their people. he doesn't want people who think they're princes or act like princes. >> reporter: at a time when pope francis is trying to reform the finances of the catholic church the german bishop became more than just an example. the administrators of the church are now accountable. they have to not only manage the spiritual well-being of their

8:36 am
slavery isn't pretty. but i walked out of the theater feeling so sad and so dprelszepressed. it was tough for me to watch it. >> it's definitely got that element to it that is -- that reveals some of the realities of what was happening. but i feel that something is healing about this story. >> it's a true story. >> a true story. i think the man is a true american hero. and his story and what he endured and the way that he endured it is so revealing about human respect, human dignity, and what those words really mean and really engaging with that. i think there's so few films out there ka that can sort of deal with subject matter and these kind of wider implications. >> most movies have been about going from slavery to freedom. here is going from freedom to slavery. >> i think that way we all can go down the rabbit hole with him. we all see it -- i thought with the book reading it for the first time was one of the things was that it was so

8:38 am
was an amazing story, a brilliant story, but also at the same time i felt the responsibility of the story. i've never seen a story from inside the slave experience in this way. i didn't know there ever would be one. i felt that responsibility and i also just wondered whether i was the person you know and you question yourself as an actor and your own ability. so it took me a little time you know, to come to it to sort of -- you know, i had to press pause for a second when steve asked me. >> the director he said you were his first and only choice for this role. >> yeah which is -- >> a bit daunting. >> that's part of it it's a wonderful thing to hear but also that you have moment where you think, right, i hope he's right. >> so you want this film to come to -- the audience to come away with that what? >> i think it's just that thing. i think it's that thing act it's never too early or too late to investigate these ideas of what human respect means.
8:39 am
>> this is what they -- go ahead. >> human respect. that's very important. >> that's what i think. >> this is what film critic says about you, chiwetel ejiofor. this film has a potential to rocket this man from a character actor to a bona fide film star. and already they're picking up on it on youtube. i don't know if you're aware. there is a video that is just designed for you about how to say your name. have you seen it? >> i haven't. >> may we show it to you? >> okay. >> okay. let's roll the tape. >> chiwetel ejiofor. chiwetel ejiofor. >> it was jus like any other saturday for chiwetel ejiofor. walk into a pup ti store and eat an entire pizza. chiwetel ejiofor. chiwetel ejiofor. chiwetel ejiofor. chiwetel ejiofor. >> we want to make sure people know your name, chiwetel ejiofor. >> did you know about it? >> i didn't know about it. >> all right.

it's estimated that 30% of the traffic in a city is caused by people looking for parking. that's remarkable that so much energy is, is wasted. streetline has looked at the problem of parking which has not been looked at for the last 30, 40 years, we wanted to rethink that whole industry so we go and put out these sensors in each parking spot and then there's a mesh network that takes this information sends it over the internet so you can go find exactly where those open parking spots are. the collaboration with citi was important for providing us the necessary financing; allow this small start-up to go provide a service to municipalities. citi has been an incredible source of advice how to engage with municipalities how to structure deals and as we think about internationally, citi is there every step of the way. so the end result is you reduce congestion you reduce pollution and you provide a service to merchants and that certainly is huge.
